GOP supporters are taking their kids out of school and not sending them to college because they are scared of "liberal brainwashing", but seriously American schools are not keeping up with the rest of the world. Whether it is funding or lack of accessibility to higher education something is seriously wrong. If it is not addressed soon then look for decreased upward mobility and economic freedom trends to continue.

Dems' campaign team should go down as the GOAT. You really cannot overstate the brilliance of the campaign run by the Democrats. It's one for the history books because they took a hand that would have quite literally been unwinnable in any other election in modern times and not only found a path to victory, they demolished the Republicans in stunning fashion. This was like the Miracle on Ice, only if the United States won by an 8-3 margin instead of 4-3.

let go of the conservative talking points man.

that one is just as wrong as all the others you had ramrodded into your skull.

Your average FOX news viewer is older, white and working class. MSNBC kills them in the college educated demographic and it's not even close. FNC relies on the fact that most of their viewers are probably computer illiterate (old folks) or don't own a PC or have internet access so they know they aren't on the internet trying to fact check what they hear from them and they are so trained to believe the MSM is liberal that right away they dismiss anything that doesn't fit the FNC narrative. They were just so clueless about Romney's chance while the rest of us who live in reality saw it coming. What I don't understand is how the younger internet savvy Fox viewer also got suckered in, but I guess they just wanted to believe the BS.

Mitt Romney got zero votes in 59 Philadelphia voting wards. That is actually not a surprise to me. If you read the comments following the article, Republicans are looking for the voting fraud angle again, but personally Im surprised there werent more zeros for Romney in this city. I cant imagine anyone (not 1 person) voting Romney in all of West or North Philly.

Mitt Romney's outreach to the community was zero, so his return on his investment was zero...

It's funny that so many of the Repubs are talking about moving to Canada (besides the obvious reasons) because unlike in the US, they don't allow lies to masquerade as news...

Regulators Reject Proposal That Would Bring Fox-Style News to Canada

As America's middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades -- against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News -- fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canada regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada's right wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast....any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987. Political dialogue in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the U.S. airwaves. When Stephen Harper moved to abolish anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up to oppose him fearing that their tradition of honest non partisan news would be replaced by the toxic, overtly partisan, biased and dishonest news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper's proposal was timed to facilitate the launch of a new right wing network, "Sun TV News" which Canadians call "Fox News North."

Harper, often referred to as "George W. Bush's Mini Me," is known for having mounted a Bush like war on government scientists, data collectors, transparency, and enlightenment in general. He is a wizard of all the familiar tools of demagoguery; false patriotism, bigotry, fear, selfishness and belligerent religiosity.

Harper's attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television is a stark admission that right wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. In the Unites States, Fox News and talk radio, the sock puppets of billionaires and corporate robber barons have become the masters of propaganda and distortion on the public airwaves. Fox News's notoriously biased and dishonest coverage of the Wisconsin's protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.

The court did not dispute the heart of Akre’s claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court, as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers. Fox argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is no hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news.

The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.

In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a “policy,” not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation. Fox aired a report after the ruling saying it was “totally vindicated” by the verdict.

Upset over the result of last week's presidential election, an Arizona woman ran over her husband with her car, believing him to be directly responsible for Obama's reelection because he didn't vote.

According to police in Gilbert, 28-year-old Holly Solomon of Mesa and her husband Daniel argued loudly in a local parking lot before Holly got in her Jeep SUV and began chasing Daniel around. She eventually managed to pin him underneath the vehicle as he was trying to run away.

Daniel sustained life-threatening injuries and was rushed to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.

"According to Daniel, Holly believed her family was going to face hardship as a result of President Obama's re-election," Gilbert police Sergeant Jesse Sanger said in a statement.

Daniel's presidential preference likely wouldn't have mattered much to Romney: He won Arizona by a margin of some 200,000 votes.
